An Interesting Night

My oldest has been allowed to watch Detroit team championship games for years. And before you go ahead and mock, he has been alive for three Stanley Cups and NBA Championship. Plus, he has watched Game 5 from the 84 World Series on ESPN Classic.

But unless you count week five of the regular NFL season, he has never seen a home team be eliminated from the playoffs.

Sure, the Wings and Pistons have been knocked out of the playoffs, but not with him watching.

In "My Losing Season," Pat Conroy wrote that people learn more from losing seasons than they do from winning ones.

I hope he doesn't learn that lesson tonight.

That's a shame. He could have learned a lot watching the Dead Things be destroyed by the Devils in '95. :)
